>When you set up your connection to your provider, do you have a static address
or dynamic? If static, you had to set your next step resolver in the config.
If you are dynamic, you get what your provider sends with the dhcp request.
Since you said you have an ipcop box for your router you should be able to ssh
into it and run setup and change your nameserver setting to 127.0.0.1 and your
ipcop should be a caching nameserver. If you have another address there it
will query to that server.
I just tried it from one of my ipcop boxes and got a query all the way to the
root servers;
